Mayweather eyes bigger purse than Pacman

You a cool floyd fan poster, but, be real man. If the terms from floyd last time was 14 days/ 50/50.. why the change? First it was the testing. Pac compromised to get the fight to happen. Now that the testing is out of the way, it's now the purse split. Floyd did more ppv buys with mosley than manny did with clottey, true. However, when pac did more ppv buys with cotto than floyd did with marquez, manny understood it should be 50/50. The two top fighters in the game on a level of their own, IMO. 1.02 mil and 1.25 mill are close so yeah 50/50; 700k and 1.4 mil are no where in the same realm you see the difference.

Floyd will demand: 90/10 split Blood test every day, and the last one during the national anthems just prior to the fight That Ellerbe is allowed to rub both fighters chests in between rounds Free crack for Roger and Sr during fight week There will be no fight. Yeah because he demanded a 90/10 split the first time, right? And keep your homosexual fantasies to yourself. This is supposed to be a Boxing forum.

Yeah i hope they get the fight signed too, But these things take a lot of time to be honest, I really knew Mayweather wanted to fight Pacquiao back in March when he agreed to 50-50... I was shocked!!!! He didnt have to IMO and going by facts/number he didnt have to so for me i was SHOCKED!!! Manny should have done it right then and then but he fvcked up the fight and he would end up losing. Correct in every way possible.

dude i bet i watch more boxing than you. i followed the sport since the days of ben and eubank, and tyson. Just because im a massive fan of pac it doesn't make you more knowledgable than me. Massive pac fan is an understatement. You're a massive dick rider. You've never contributed anything to the forum other than Pacquiao worshipping. You know nothing about the sport. Don't worry. You have lots of company.

i cannot believe this shit. first, Floyd wanted the fight at 154 lbs with 10oz gloves, then a little wiggle room on the weight limit, and then he said the gazillion of dollars wasn't enough. now he doesn't want 50/50 split. wtf? this some bullshit. just say it Floyd you don't want none of Pacquiao go ahead Floyd have a press release saying you don't want to fight Pacquiao. it's OK we already know. Why do manny fans have to make up sh!t like this.

I honestly dont think this fight is going to happen without the OST with no cut off date, the purse splite isnt going to be as big of a deal as the testing. During the first negotiations, bob arum knew the only reason floyd came back was because he wanted to fight pacquiao(and taxes). I think they overplayed their hand. They didnt think they could bully floyd like they did. I dont care if you like floyd or not who would of thought he would accept a 50/50 split, I for one was like he really wants this fight. And they didnt think floyd was that serious about the testing issue or they that could just bully him into dropping it. To be honest they didnt think Floyd Sr was that serious about the testing issue, I've heard there was already suspicion about pac being on something in the boxing world before this came up. Even though Sr isnt cautious about the things that come out of his mouth he is very cautious when it comes to his son fighting and getting hurt. If it was left up to Roger and Jr this fight would of happened in march because Roger just cares about f*cking somebody up and floyd is just worried about the cash. But Floyd Sr is trying to protect his son. He is the reason that floyd is so cautious in the ring, I believe if it wasnt for roger developing his offensive skills when Sr got locked up his fights would be 10 times worst for casual fans, who already think he is boring. All you have to do is look at some of interviews like the infamous "I dont like my son fighting southpaws" video or more recently his interview he did after the mosley fight, he was kind of pissed that mayweather went into attack mode in the third he thought floyd should of took the third off just to make sure he was recovered. The excuses that team pac kept throwing out each day is what got Roger and Jr on board with the OST. I will bet money that floyd and roger had to persuade Sr to except the 14 day cutoff the first time because they didnt care but once the excuses started flying that inclined them to believe that he had something to hide. To understand my reasoning all you have to do is look at how floyd fights compared to how roger fought. Roger was more of a fighter with some defensive moves but not a traditional defense so he relied more on his offense.Floyd is safety first, doesnt like getting hit and creates offense off of his defense. Sr taught him how to box but IMO roger is the person that taught him to be more offensive at times. In terms of nba teams Roger would be the mavericks back when them and the suns was the 2 highest scoring teams. The suns basically was all offense the mavericks atleast tried to play defense sometimes it just sucked. Floyd Sr is the pistons when they won the the championship nothing too exciting, basically all defense. And I would say floyd is the spurs once they got ginobli and parker. Like the spurs he is defense first, defense creates offense mentality but if you give the ball to ginobli or parker on the offensive side they can do some amazing things. And last but not least, like floyd unless you are a spurs fan nine times out of ten you hate them but deep down you respect their game, even though you wont admit it in public.

As a boxing fan I think the most logical would be let manny keep his ring size, glove size and weight penalty give floyd the OST and the MGM grand and do a 60/40 split, 60 goes to the winner. That is just a dream, there is no way that floyd would agree to this type of split of the money with someone from top rank. Bob Arum has too much power in the sport of boxing, you see how the media and the sports writers have treated him since he left top rank(definitely not a coincidence). Boxing is the shadiest sport there is so that is definitely not a smart business move.

Floyd will demand: 90/10 split Blood test every day, and the last one during the national anthems just prior to the fight That Ellerbe is allowed to rub both fighters chests in between rounds Free crack for Roger and Sr during fight week There will be no fight.

I'd say 60-40, winner takes 60.

let's just hope everyone agrees. Pac should agree, he already has way more money than Floyd anyway from different sources. Pac can get 40% of US PPV on this fight plus Asian PPV money and TV rights. So 40% or 45% wouldn't be much of a difference. or maybe Pac gets 40% US PPV but he gets 60% the rest of the globe as he has proven to be more popular worldwide. and he gets 99% of Philippine rights and PPV's. LOL. Ok. Let's just stop. :-)

watch these floyd fans defend his actions. you guys are shameless. All me to engage in some shameless behavior by pointing out a few observations. 1) Mayweather and his team have not been talking incessantly about fighting Pac since the negotiations broke down for the first fight. Pac's team has. 2) Mayweather didn't "give in" on the drug testing. He strengthened his position by saying he now will only fight if there is no cutoff on testing. Pac "gave in" and is asking for the 14-day cutoff that Mayweather originally offered, but is no longer on the table; 3) Mayweather's team has not said a word about Pac since the Mosley fight. Pac's team won't stop talking about Mayweather. That includes Pac himself. The Pactards are deluding themselves into thinking that both fighters are equal in terms of negotiations. In spite of what these clowns from Pac's team are saying, if there is a fight, Mayweather will get the bigger split. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Why? Because Mayweather can fight Ricky Hatton, Sergio Martinez, Andre Berto, Timothy Bradley, Amir Khan or Devon Alexander and make two to three times as much money as Pac would fighting Margarito or anyone on this list. Saying that may be shameless, but it is true!

Manny wants no part of Floyd. he will use the blood test as an excuse. Floyd deserves more than 60-40, he doubled Manny's last fight.

Absurd blood test demands till the day of the fight AND a greater share of the purse? Just say you're afraid Floyd and move on already.

Comparing Clottey to Shane is not really a fair comparison. But the fact that two non-Americans sold 700,000 PPVs and sold 50,000 tickets is pretty good. Of course, Shane/Mosely will sell a lot more. What the hell does being a non-American have to do with anything? I am a serious boxing fan. I, and all the other serious boxing fans don't give a damn if the fighters are from Mars. If they are good fighters I will watch them and if I like them enough and I think it is worth it, I will pay to watch them fight. Being American has nothing to do with it.

in all fairness to floyd, he has the right to demand for a bigger share since he outsold pac in terms on ppv. but we all know that team pac wont agree on 60-40 either Pac wasn't a house hold name yet when he fought DLH. It was after beating DLH that made him a popular boxer. Mayweather was already a star when he fought DLH and had fought in american soil in more years than pac. It was after DLH that shoot him up as a house hold name. Pac was going up in popularity. When Pac fought hatton it was 850k while before that mayweather fought hatton for 900k. (note hatton that time was undefeated so it was more sale able to the viewing public knowing their both undefeated fighting each other. When Pac fought Hatton he still did 850k even if Hatton's star power wasn't the same like when he faced Mayweather coz he wasn't undefeated anymore. The best way of gauging their populartiy is their present fight that had 24/7 and commercial hype, which is cotto,pac and Mayweahter mosely fight. You can't pay a hollywood actor a huge talent fee if his star power is waning down. If a holllywood actor was big in the 90's but not anymore at present. Will you still pay him the huge amount he commands in the past? Ofcourse not, you give him his talent on assumption of his star quality @ present. Hence the best comparison is the closest present fight they both had an even popular opponent. With both having 24/7 and commercials. Note: Mosely Mayweather promotion was way up in promoting hype and commercials compared to cotto pac. Golden Boy spent a ton of money in commercials and billboards etc. And there numbers where close 1.3 pac cotto, 1.4 may mosely. Btw, Mayweather and Mosely are both americans who are asking american viewing pubic to pay HBO PPV.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is using the pay-per-view sales of his recent fight against Shane Mosley as leverage as he seeks a bigger share of the purse against Manny Pacquiao. Team Pacquiao said yesterday that there were reports the undefeated American has demanded a bigger share of the purse for the showdown being planned for Nov. 13. “We just got word that it seems to be that way,” said Pacquiao’s lawyer, Franklin Gacal, yesterday, just hours after Pacquiao was discharged from the hospital after a second bout with acid reflux. “But we will never agree to that,” said Gacal, who added that Mayweather now believes he deserves a bigger share than Pacquiao based on the pay-per-view sales of their most recent fights. That's where your wrong. Pac wasn't a house hold name yet when he fought DLH. It was after beating DLH that made him a popular boxer. Mayweather was already a star when he fought DLH and had fought in american soil in more years than pac. It was after DLH that shoot him up as a house hold name. Pac was going up in popularity.

Btw, Mayweather and Mosely are both americans who are asking american viewing pubic to pay HBO PPV. Mayweather and Mosley sold 1.4 million PPV hits last May 1 while Pacquiao did around 700,000 in his fight with Joshua Clottey last March. However, Gacal said the fight with Clottey should not be used as a gauge of Pacquiao’s drawing power, but the one he had against Miguel Cotto late last year, a 12-round contest that sold 1.25 million hits. “It’s the Cotto fight they should look at and not the Clottey fight. And it’s pretty even, so we’re sticking to the fifty-fifty percent split between Manny and Floyd if they ever fight,” said Gacal. The lawyer did not confirm if it was Bob Arum, in the US quietly trying to make the superfight happen, who told them that Mayweather is now demanding for a bigger purse. But Pacquiao’s business manager, Eric Pineda, said word indeed reached the Pacquiao camp yesterday that Mayweather now wants a bigger share of the purse. In case of a 50-50 sharing, the two fighters can earn around $40 million each. “Yes, we were told that Floyd now wants a bigger share. And if that’s the case, we now feel that he really doesn’t want to fight Manny because Floyd knows we will never agree on that,” said Pineda. Apparently, Pacquiao was not happy with the news because it could mean that the fight will never take place. Pacquiao said a few days ago he was giving in to Mayweather’s demand to have blood tests taken 14 days before the fight, or even closer than that as long as it’s not on the day of the fight itself. But Pacquiao’s willingness to do more blood tests were met by reports that Mayweather, as of February, had renewed his demand. From 14 days, he said he wants it done “all the way to the fight.” Pac wasn't a house hold name yet when he fought DLH. It was after beating DLH that made him a popular boxer.

From 14 days, he said he wants it done “all the way to the fight.” PPv numbers for the Mayweather vs Mosely garnered 1.4million. 2 americans in their homeland. While Pacman who is a foreigner who fought cotto (a foreigner as well) who is just as popular as mosely got 1.3 million ppv. So I would say based on popularity their both equals knowing pac cotto are both foreigners and getting those huge numbers. Mayweather keeps on saying it was him not Delahoya who made the 2.4 million record for ppv now we know it was really DELAHOYA who had all the fans- 2.4million. Note: Mosely owns the gate for number of attendance in the staple center. It shows how big a draw he is. Plus, don't forget that there are "no" 24/7 and huge marketing, commercials for the Pacquiao Clottey fight. And Clottey ain't a popular fighter. 24/7 and commercials where done only for the Mayweather, Mosely and Pacquiao Cotto fight. And Mosely has been in more PPV fights than Cotto

Because you a flomo. a man than is willing to defend floyds actions no matter how ridiculous it is. You want this figth to happen then why dont you act like you do. Do you really think that 60-40 and osts up to the fight will get the fight done. I dont see no compromise, all i see is floyd getting his way. Hey boxing fan all mighty! Name one thing Manny has done that you didn't agree with.

I don't care how you look it at, it's still a ridiculous demand. GTFO with that shit, how the **** is asking for a test that Floyd would subject himself to it is more ridiculous than asking $10M for every weight over 147? (**If you can afford it**) Would you rather pay $10M per pound or take a test that your opponent is willing to take as well? Only from certian point of view. What does it matter what I think or what i would do? As I do not add into the equation...but if you must know... IF I WHERE PAC AN SOMEONE ACCUSED ME OF BEING ON PED'S AND THEN TRIED TO PLOW ME INTO THE FUKING GROUND THE WAY THE MAYWEATHERS TRIED TO DO TO PAC...ME PERSONALLY I WOULD HAVE SAVED MYSELF A LOT OF HEADACHES AN TOLD YOU TO FUK OFF!!! I WOULD NOT HAVE WASTED MY TIME TRYING TO BEAT A DEAD HORSE WITH STICK THE WAY PAC DID, AND STILL GOT NOTHING BUT A HEADACHE IN THE END ANYWAYS.
